Ukrainian ambassador to the US: Ukraine ‘prays’ for Trump-Putin meeting to ‘be effective’
UKRAINE, AUG 11 – The Alaska summit between Trump and Putin raises concerns as Ukraine and Europe worry about being excluded from key security decisions, with ongoing conflict continuing.
- The president of the United States and his Russian counterpart are set to hold talks in Alaska on August 15 aimed at addressing the conflict in Ukraine.
- The meeting follows Trump's August 8 deadline for Putin to agree to a ceasefire or face secondary tariffs on nations importing Russian oil, which passed without enforcement.
- Experts warn Putin aims to use the summit to delay sanctions and sway Trump, who seeks a deal to regain Ukrainian territory and bring Putin and Zelenskyy into negotiations.
- Ryhor Nizhnikau stated the summit is likely to delay the war's end, while Trump said he would know within minutes if a deal could be made.
- Ukrainian officials and analysts express concern that the bilateral meeting may sideline Ukraine, risk undermining its sovereignty, and allow Putin to impose unacceptable demands.
